Fly fishing or spin fishing for Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon and Snook in Florida.
With Florida fishing guide Jeff Belsik.
Simply put Jeff goes to where the Bonefish, Permit, Snook or Tarpon fishing is best. Captain Jeff Belsik The Ghost Hunter reigns from the East coast and has been a professional fishing guide for 16 years. He's 46 years of age and has a very aggressive and highly "mobile" style. You'll find Capt. Jeff whenever and wherever the most prolific flats fishing in the Florida Keys occurs. Whether you're a novice or an expert his highly mobile style gives you the best opportunity to catch that fish of a lifetime!
Key Areas fished are from Key West thru Marathon, Islamorada up to Key Largo for Bonefish, Permit &Tarpon. Everglades National Park for Redfish & Snook, Cape Sable, Sanibel & Captiva for Snook. Jeff covers them all with great knowledge and extreme accuracy. Jeff Belsik not only fishes the Florida Keys with great accuracy, but has one of the widest ranges of all guides. Jeff trailers his boat to wherever the fishing and weather conditions are best for the time of you trip.
Tarpon reign as the supreme fighting fish in the backcountry flats of the Florida Keys. The "Grey Ghost" or bonefish fishing is one of the most sought after experiences in the area. Stalking the Bonefish, Permit & Tarpon in the flats of the Florida Keys is an experience that you'll remember for a lifetime. Redfish & Snook fishing, are usually more predominant in the Everglades National Park or Cape Sable, Sanibel & Captiva. Jack Crevelle, Triple Tail, Sea Trout and Sharks are found there in good numbers as well. In the winter season (Dec. thru Feb..) the Barracuda fishing is excellent on the flats of the Florida Keys as well as Sharks and Jacks. While most fishermen in the northern areas spend up to 150 hours a season trying to bag that one 40 lb. plus Muskie. Here in the Florida Keys on the flats in the winter you may jump 10 "Cuda" that will weigh at least that much. They'll rocket out of the water and make your drag scream ... on ten pound test, it's a blast!
Fly-fishing and Spinfishing are the most commonly use methods by Captain Jeff. All species will take flys, plugs or live bait. The most challenging fishing you'll probably ever do will be on light tackle in the Flats. There's nothing like boating a 40 pound Permit on 10 pound test or Fly. Stalking the fish and sight casting are the most common ways to go about getting that trophy fish. Jeff's expertise will have an amateur fisherman casting like a pro in no time. He's know as one of the most friendly, courteous and patient guides around.
